Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

MODERATORS
I find kbin hard to navigate, always so lost whenever i tried it. Maybe because i treat it like another reddit instead of something new :x
Yeah it's definitely it's own beast, closer to being a forum than a reddit imo. I'm also still trying to wrap my head around the use case, tho it was explained to me it's supposed to be a link aggregator for fediverse content. Kot.
But lemmy also link aggregator what 🙈
dem, that kinda remind me of the early internet haha
Yaaaa i don't really know the lore well but before this month, Lemmy was chugging along slowly2 with most ppl on fedi not really finding the need for it + the reputation of the devs being tankies. Kbin not even six months, this kid was just building on PHP code he got elsewhere to do both link aggregation and microblogging. As it was heating up (like shy2 announce got flagship instance etc) more ppl were trying it out (because non-tankie option? Wheeee). ETA: and unlike Lemmy the aggregation to include Fedi content is why the microblog section of the magazines slurps content from other blogs. Then Reddit Migration happened lmao. The tankie issue is still there but the redditor energy of doing their instances or choosing the existing non-tankie ones, and more developer energy to layan a fork should anything happen is also why Lemmy got a fresh burst of life, frankly.
